FWIW, due to other instrumentation issues I've started doing a larger noinstr
cleanup on arm64 which should address this, as fixing this properly involves
also modifying a bunch of underlying helpers (e.g. preempt_count()).

I can Cc you when sending that out, if you'd like? That'll probably be in the
new year.

Thanks,
Mark.
